Dining at the AGO
AGO restaurant and café facilities are currently under renovation. During the renovation we have partnered with several neighborhood restaurants offering discounts to our visitors.
When we reopen in 2008, the AGO will offer a wonderful street-front dining and shopping experience -- a fine dining restaurant, a casual café, a two-level gift and book shop and members’ lounge. For more information about the new restaurant, click here.
Thank you for being a loyal part of our transformation, your understanding and your patience as we prepare for 2008.

Edward P. Taylor Research Library and Archives
Effective Monday, November 27, 2006 and continuing through to the completion of construction in mid-2008, the Research Library and Archives will operate solely on an appointment basis for external clients. Priority for appointments will be given to museum professionals, scholars, academic researchers, and graduate and post-graduate students. We regret that we are not able to offer library services to undergraduate students and the general public during this time.
Please note, however, that archives collections will continue to be accessible by prior appointment with no restrictions. Besides the above clients, both the general public and undergraduate students will be able to continue conducting archives-based research.

The Grange
As of Sunday, April 17, 2005, The Grange will close to the public and will remain closed for the duration of the Gallery's construction phase, reopening in 2008. The closure is necessary as the construction work that will occur in the sculpture atrium will prevent access, and a crane will be working over the north part of the house.
